descriptionII.1.4) Short description
The Authority seeks to procure a framework agreement for temporary body
storage in the event of an excess deaths situation for the 32 London boroughs
and the City of London, led by Westminster City Council. The framework
agreement will appoint a single provider and will be for a period of 4 years.
This will be a contingency contract, only called upon in the event that an
excess deaths situation arises in the future and existing local body storage
capacity needs to be augmented.
The over-arching aim of this tender is to provide a single framework
supplier that will be able to provide temporary body storage facilities to
house deceased in the event of an excess deaths situation. The deceased will be
stored with dignity and respect, at locations to be determined based on local
London needs at the time and will require some design elements to accommodate
local site conditions and constraints, while being capable of rapid deployment,
construction and commissioning to an agreed standard. This framework will be
procured by the Authority as the pan-London lead, but all London local
authorities may call-off against the framework.
This will be a contingency cover framework and as such there is no minimum
guarantee of any level of spend or call-off under the framework agreement.
